Headphone jack buzz

hey guys,
my One S has buzzing noise coming from the headphone jack, and this problem is pretty annoying especially when it's connected to my car stereo. I thought it might be just mine, but it seems like this is a common issue.
i found this video on youtube. I have the exact same buzz from my One S, though perhaps not as accentuated as in this video.
seems like the One X has this problem as well. found this thread at the One X board http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720212
is this a grounding problem in the headphone jack? Beats Audio? what do you guys think?

I've always had this problem with more than one phone. If you charge the phone via USB adapter from the car battery, it gets 10x worse.
This problem only happens when sound is being played back, so when music/video/game sound kick in, it stops. Do you get that noise when sound is being played back?

The buzz is only audible when nothing is playing. Like in that video, when I stop playing music it will be silent for about 2 seconds and then the buzz kicks in again.
I didn't have this issue with other phones

I don't have any buzz, I double checked just to make sure.
Although it might be my headphones, the output is probably not strong enough to play the sound.
It's probably being heard in your car (or in the youtube video) because the output is being amplified.

I'm having the same issue with YouTube and Pandora.

you're right. the issue isn't as noticeable through earbuds. i think that's why many people are saying they don't have this issue. It's still bad though.
I don't know why HTC messed up this part when no other phones seem to have this issue. Makes me sad.

If it's easy to reproduce for you guys, I'd definitely be pushing for warranty replacement.

I do not have this problem at all. On my cheap pair of headphones or on my expensive one. No hum or sound.

the buzz is there, and it also was on my Desire.
Not when playing tho, only when connected and not playing. Not too annoying, always thought it was supposed to be like that.
And no, I have never heard it through ear buds or phones, only when connected to home stereo or car stereo, and if charged through cig-lighter-outlet it amplifies further...

It doesnt effect headphones, only when the sound is amplified. Like when you play music in your car.
Simply because that sound alone is not enough to drive the headphones.

Whether its plugged in to a car or home stereo, its still using the output from the headphone jack. The power output from the jack is the same either way.
I plug mine in to the aux jack of my car stereo daily, and I have no buzz or hum. Do you have your phone plugged in to a power source at the same time? That buzz is usually caused by crosstalk from a poor quality power source.
Or, as I said earlier, it may just be a bad phone.

Well my phone doesnt do it in my headphones. I can't test in car, no aux input.
What I was saying is that, of its buzzing in your car but not on your headphones its because the sound level at which the buzz is at isn't enough to drive your ear buds. But when the car stereo amplifies it its easily driving your car speakers.

Finally fixed bluetooth in the car while using the AUX IN jack

Tonight I made my first accessory purchase at the local Verizon store... as their prices have always been pretty bad, but I have a military discount of 15%, so I bit the bullet and purchased an iBolt cradle system. If you haven't seen it, there is a review in the accessory section, it's pretty spot on, but this important update is for those of us who don't have A2DP streaming in the car, and are forced to use the AUX IN jack.
Long story short, when using this dock, you have the option of sending the sound thru your micro USB port or out the phones speaker in back. This dock comes with a nine foot long cable that has micro USB at one end, and regular USB and a 3.5mm audio jack at the other. This beautiful setup allows you to not touch the evil headphone jack (trump card) on the phone, but rather it lets you the phone play music out the USB connection while retaining Bluetooth phone connectivity thru your cars Bluetooth connection! (while charging)
Silly that I had to buy a $32 device to get functionality that the AT&T version of our phone has natively... but at least it's fixed!

Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but what is the advantage of playing music through the USB instead of bluetooth? I actually like the BT option - plays music but pauses when a call come in and lowers the volume for GPS directions. Works great all at the same time...

There's a large portion of G3 owners who do not have bluetooth streaming (A2DP). Just because you have bluetooth phone connectivity does not mean you have bluetooth streaming. We are forced to use the aux in jack in the car to listen to music. I think a large portion of S3 owners simply tried to use the headphones jack on the phone... But if you do that, you cannot use bluetooth. Every sound is routed thru the headphones jack. You cannot toggle this.
So, using the iBolt cradle, witch ports the sound out via usb instead of the headphones jack, I am able to retain my cars bluetooth functionality.
Side note, not sure if you know this, but the sound quality of bluetooth streamed music is pretty bad compared to a cabled connection.

I'd recommend this if you don't have BT streaming: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10827&cs_id=1082704&p_id=9472&seq=1&format=2
That combined with a USB car charger to keep it charged at all times would maybe be a nice way to solve your issue for ~$30
Note: I don't own the product, but the reviews are good and it seems it would just be nice to have.

A day after I purchased the iBolt I received this little gadget in the mail from ebay.
USB Bluetooth Adapter
For under $10 it gives you the same A2DP bluetooth audio streaming. But, the difference is it doesn't sound nearly as good for the lower end of the spectrum. But, in a pinch it's awesome, and for the price, you can't beat it. I have it as a backup for now.
I took about 30 min and hid the iBolt cabling today. I like the fact that I moved the cradle to the top left of the windshield, away from the center console. Will post some pics later today of the install.

I am surprised at how easy the phone is to use with my left hand, from the steering wheel. Retaining the bluetooth functionality, specificallly my integrated microphone, really makes this work around worth every penny. Hope it helps someone else!

Oh well now I understand. Thanks for clarifying. Of course I didn't mean any offense.

No worries, none taken. I am just ecstatic to be playing music via S3 thru my car stereo and still be able to use the cars bluetooth for phone calls! Now if we could come up with a fix for this damn NO SIM error, I would be in heaven. LOL!

Sweet, I was contemplating a bluetooth to 3.5mm for my car because of this issue, but this might be a better solution. Looks like we might have the same exact setup soon including the mini cooper :good:

I-bolt rocks. Bought one the other day. Search for best price. Down in the low to mid $30 range now depending on shipping and coupons.

Could anybody solve my problem? My car doesn't have a usb port so I cant use the iBolt to play music through it. I use the cassette player to audio jack and use bluetooth talk through my car speakers. Is there a solution to use bluetooth while using the audio jack?

Yes. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, but on anther board, someone brought this up and it works, albeit ghetto'ish.
Mount the phone somewhere in the car where you can speak towards the mic. Plug the cassette tape adapter into the headphones jack. When a call comes in, just answer the phone keeping the headphone jack in use, and the sound will come thru your stereo, but the mic you will be using is the one on the phone. Talked to multiple people who all heard me just fine. (even with the mic pointed downwards!)

The cable is exactly the right length to mount the ibolt anywhere in the car, hell I think we could mount it on the rear window, lol! There is space behind the base of the center console where you can tuck away any extra cable you have before you route the cable to the jacks. I decided to use an add on 2.1a USB car charger (cig lighter adapter) vs the cars internal USB as I don't think the MINI USB pumps out anything more than 450 mA (1\4 what the adapter puts out I bought seperately)

Does that require a custom Recovery and/or ROM, perhaps? I'd like to keep things relatively stock for now, though am OK with tweaks. Plus, the iBolt looks convenient to use in my car.

So how do you know if you have bluetooth streaming? aren't all the G3's the same in that respect? Or is it up to what your car can do?

Yes and unlcked bootloader

I know I can do that but I want to use the bluetooth in my car to make calls(my car doesn't have bluetooth audio only calls). When I use the headphone jack to make calls people say their voice echoes back but if I use the cars bluetooth its fine.

Bluetooth calling options for car?

I've read a lot about options for getting bluetooth audio in the car, and even started a thread on it. But after thinking about it more, I realized that if I was going to have bluetooth audio in the car, I might as well be able to take calls in the car, as well. I tried the Belkin adapter, and it's great for receiving music and calls, but the sound from my end on calls is disappointing. I've called people from it and also have left myself voicemails and listened to them, and it just doesn't sound very good.
Any advice on bluetooth for the car that has good call audio? Been considering maybe this GoGroove one. Also, this Kinivo doesn't look too bad.

It's a bit more expensive than those options and doesn't work with every vehicle but I just put a grom audio adapter in my honda pilot. It pretends to be a cd changer, I got the box with aux in, usb and bluetooth capability then added on the Bluetooth module and auxillary in+charging cable and it ended up being like 200 shipped. At the cheapest end you could get the box that just does bluetooth and aux for 74.99 then add on the bluetooth for 49.99 (the box comes with bluetooth capability but the actual bluetooth module is an addon). You mount the microphone where you cant it and plug the box into the back of the radio. It works well for me and everyone can hear me just fine... well everyone except my dad but he's been going deaf for years now.

Can you elaborate? You have this one? It is one of the two I was considering. How is call quality?

i dont own it yet but am probabally going to order it on monday.
my car already has bluetooth built in, but i like the fact this adapter supports aptX, and has a built in USB port.
so anyway, i cant elaborate :/

I can speak for it, I own it (bought it last week)
Syncs up quick, Unlike the similar Belkin (looks better, has issues) the buttons are useful, the big center area is a giant play/pause button, it also has a foward\back button on one side. Call quality is great, have had no complaints when using it, streams music well. Very simple setup.
The only thing I don't like is the cable is permanently attached and very thin/fragile. This isn't an issue if you properly mount/set it up (IE hide it behind plastic panels)
The charger doesn't put out much, I believe around 700mA, and it does take up my one and only 12v jack meaning I can't easily use a better phone charger without hardwiring something.

There's always this.

Just bought a new car 2 months ago. It has no bluetooth and I was tired of my fm adapter so I was looking for a new solution. Considered everything from 600$ full CD player replacements that had bluetooth enabled to some of the more internal installation ones around 150. Ended up going with the Kinvio off Amazon just to try it and see how well it works.
Here is what makes it 10x better then the Belkin: Autoconnect. When you turn your car on it turns on and your phone automatically connects. With the Belkin apparently you have to hit the button every time you want to connect.
I've been told the audio quality is good and while people know im on speakerphone they can hear me clearly. The audio quality for me is great, I'm not an audiophile but it certainly seems clear to me. Would definitely recommend it for the price.

I put a bluefusion unit in my truck and loved it. It plugged in behind the radio, install took about thirty minutes. It still allowed use of my steering wheel controls. It tricked the radio into thinking the Bluetooth was xm..... retails for over $200 but are for sale all over the net for $40-60.

so am i correct in my thinking:
1) pair my phone with the Kinovo
2) Music (from google music) will go out TO my microsoft SYNC system VIA Line OUT FROM the Kinovo
3) Phone calls, incoming/outgoing, will go TO my microsoft SYNC system VIA bluetooth FROM the Kinovo ((instead of LINE out! so i can still take advantage of answering calls from my steering wheel and seeing names on the cars LCD etc ...)

Alright, I'm giving the Kinivo a try.

How's the Bluetooth with S7 (Tmo)? Issues with Senn Momentum 2 Wireless headphones

Since my usual Bluetooth headphones (V-MODA Crossfade Wireless) sounds terrible on the S7 due to the lack of aptX in the headphones, I picked up the Sennheiser Momentum 2 AEBT Bluetooth headphones. They're very highly reviewed despite issues early on with the Bluetooth; I've confirmed I have the revised version that fixes that.
But if I go outside with my S7 in a pocket, jacket or jeans, the Bluetooth audio cuts in and out. If I hold the phone in my hand or keep it on my belt clip, it usually sounds fine, but sometimes even a slight wind will cause a hiccup. I'm tempted to blame this on the headphones, because even though the V-MODAs sound terrible, they don't skip when the S7 is in my pocket. I know this can sometimes be attributed to your body causing interference, or the numerous wireless transmissions happening outside.
I'm wondering if anyone else has the Sennheiser Momentum 2 and can shed some light on this. Experience with other Bluetooth headphones would be helpful, too. Thanks.

Yup, I've had some issues with it disconnecting in my car as well.

I really hope it's not because of a lame Bluetooth chip in the S7. I like the phone otherwise and would like a really good pair of Bluetooth headphones that I can also wire to my computer at work.

Not sure if aptX will fix it but the sound through bluetooth is just bad. Bad... Crackles and static noises on the high tones etc. Both in my car and on a pair of Bose Soundlink 2. I know it's the S7 fault, didn't have any issues on the iPhone 6. And my Zenbook makes clear sound on the Bose aswell. Through the jack it sounds pretty good but volume should be higher.
Didn't have any disconnection issues tho!
Not sure if this is the same for the Exynos version but the SD820 doesn't support AptX HD in the S7, only 16-bit.
Lots of edits here but I have a pair of Philips Fidelio M2 with AptX support and the crackling and static noises are gone in these. Sounds pretty damn good but these headphones makes my ears hurt after a little while. OnEar

Yeah, I know the aptX here is only SD - I was tempted to get the G5 to get aptX HD but LG's issues with the G4 + the lukewarm early reviews kept me away. I didn't have issues using my other BT phones with the S7, and the Momentums generally work well - if I'm inside.

You've got crappy BT headphones.
My Sony SBH20 doesn't skip a beat or suffer from static and gets great range.
I'm usually in the next room before it starts to lose signal, although I have been able to walk upstairs and keep a solid connection a few times. Doesn't matter if the phone is in my pocket, my bag, the car, or the couch.
If I cover the receiver with my arm or my toddler, then it starts to cut in and out.
And that's only a $40 Cdn dongle.

I am having the same issue with my Verizon s7 edge and my lg tone ultras. The sound is absolutely horrible! A tone of static and distortion, the volume buttons don't work, and it seems the phone is not picking up that they are headphones because I cannot get the UHQ upscaler to not be greyed out. They work great with my wifes Note 5, but not my s7. The weird thing is call audio is perfectly fine, but media audio is horrible.

How about outside? My problems occur outside in NYC, so whether it's being outdoors, the amount of wireless activity in the area, or having my phone in my pocket, something caused the issue. The Momentums sound great otherwise.

I was looking into the new Infinim model that just came out. I can't say I know about the UHQ upscaler, but I thought that was causing static through the speakers on some phones? The rest is a bit puzzling, have you been able to try with a different pair of Bluetooth headphones?

Inside, outside walking, riding the bus, driving the car, sleeping in bed, the BT connection is solid.
Daughter "misplaced" the other BT dongle, the one that supports Apt-X, so only have experience with the one dongle.
But have plugged two different sets of headphones into the Sony dongle with identical results.
This is with the Telus S7, using the Exynos SoC.

I've been having this issue pop up again. I'll be driving in my Mercedes and it just disconnects. I've tried to re-pair, but still does it. I know it's not my car.

I have the galaxy s7 edge with exynos and some Momentum wireless 2 headphones, and I have the exact same problem. I got someone at work to test the headphones with their iphone, and that worked fine.
Edit:
I walked the same route to work with a xperia z5 compact instead of my s7 today. And i had no problems at all. the sound is also much clearer with the z5.
I wonder if the s7 even uses aptx.

Now my headphones are disconnecting sometimes when I'm indoors. Really frustrating. Starting to wonder whether it's the S7, perhaps I'll swap it for another one and see if there's any difference. I really like the phone otherwise and there's nothing out right now that interests me.

I'm having the skipping issue as well with my S7 coupled with the Sony SBH70 Headset and it's bloody annoying

I have Plantronics Headphones that worked great with my S4.
With the S7 I also get crackles and skips when I put the phone in my pants pocket and walk down the street which is a real bummer. The sound quality is fine and it really only seems to happen when I put them in a pants pocket. This did not happen at all with my S4.
The other issue I am getting a lot of (but I dont know if this is the BT or some settings issues) is that I will be on a phone call using a bluetooth headset and then suddenly...nothing. When I take out my phone and look I will see that the BT just disconnected - call still ongoing but seemingly random BT disconnects on calls. VERY FRUSTRATING.

Audio output static noise with adapter

Hi everyone, I got my new mix 2s this week and I am sad to say it has audio problems when using the included usb-C Jack adapter.
My car is equipped with a sony stereo with a front facing AUX in, a cdx-gt33u. So, as soon as i plug the phone in the aux in, there's a hiss, a loud white noise. After some seconds that the screen is locked or the phone isn't sending any audio the noise stops. When I play music the noise starts again and covers the music as it is louder.
I tried every cable I had, even in a friend's car with a similar stereo unit and the problem is the same. With a TRRS cable (one with also the microphone's ring) there are also clicks and pops.
I would like to keep this phone as I really like it (and I can't find any good alternative for about 500€) but I found no fix. I'm considering returning the device as I work with audio professionally and not being able to play music in my car is just ridiculous.
What's your experience? Did I get a broken device or is it a software issue?
MIUI version is MIUI Global 9.5 Stable (9.5.19.0 (ODGMIFA)
EDIT: I considered installing another rom or rooting to apply the "<ctl name="RX HPH Mode" value="CLS_H_HIFI" /> Replace CLS_H_HIFI with CLS_H_LP"" fix, but I bought the phone less than a week ago and rooting it just to listen music doesn't seem reasonable to me.

It's working just fine in my cars audio in... However, the LG G6 my girlfriend owns has the same problem with my car that you just described

I don't experience any audio problems when using the USB Audio Adaptor with wired headphones. Car audio systems sometimes have issues though when you hook up a phone with a wired sound connection. I think a grounding issue creates the noise.

You are totally right. Yesterday I bought a ground loop isolator and the problem is gone.
I also got a small bluetooth receiver to put into my stereo aux in. Quality is worse but at least I can just leave it in the car without having to worry about adapters! (now I have to worry about its battery though)
This jack-less technology is leading us in a really uncomfortable direction but I guess we have to live with it.

I agree unfortunately. Phone device manufacturers and headphone makers seem to have decided that we're going to have to use Bluetooth whether we want to or not.

You could leave the adapter in your glove compartment in case the battery runs down on your Bluetooth receiver.

Ive got a bluetooth receiver in my glove box powered by usb from my head unit so it turns on/off with the stereo. Its arguable that audio is worse using bt if you have aptx codec or even better aptx-hd which is virtually lossless. Using the dac in the phone could induce more noise because if the space constraints in a phone and proximity or rf components. Having a good quality Bluetooth receiver with a quality dac could be better. Best of all is a usb dac though.
